"Tech Prep gave me that real world work experience early. I learned you only get one chance to make a first impression."-Travis Kern
For Travis Kern, the marketing skills he acquired in Tech Prep classes at Allen High School paved the pathway for his success. After graduating in 2005, he was debating which direction to take for his future. He realized he had "6 free Tech Prep credits in his back pocket" on his Global EDGE ID Card. So, he chose to attend Collin College and use those 6 credits. He completed his AS degree from Collin in two years while receiving full tuition reimbursement from his job at Perry Ellis. Travis continued his academic journey with a Presidential Transfer Scholarship to Texas Tech where he graduated debt free with a Bachelors of Business Administration in 2009, while maintaining a job in high-end retail. He is currently a Sales Manager Trainee at JCPenney, which is recognized as one of the best programs in the industry.
